Checklist

Birthday parties are exciting milestones for children.

Spending the day with their family and friends, as well as eating cake, playing games, and opening gifts is something they look forward to all year long. We want to help you plan the perfect birthday party and so it is our pleasure to prepare for you this simple party checklist.

6-8 weeks before the party

Set the date of the party

Decide on the location and make venue reservations, if necessary

Create the guest list (determine the size of the party)

Set the party theme with your child

Line up any entertainment you may want and ask about setup requirements

Decide on the type of party (half day, full day, sleep-over, etc.)

4 to 5 weeks before the party

Plan your menu

Make a schedule of activities for the party. You will need to factor in time for entertainment, lunch & snacks, gift opening, and simply allowing kids time to run around.

Plan more games than you expect to use in case you run out of activities before the party is over.

Keep in mind that an outdoor party may become an indoor party in case of rain, so plan alternate activities, just in case.
